Synopsis
After starting out with a gentle and kind premise, The Jerry Springer Show quickly changed strategy when producer Richard Dominick decided that the ratings needed to be improved - transforming the show into something far more dark, extreme and controversial. Featuring clips and interviews with many of the show’s behind-the-scenes crew, we explore how a new era of exploitative television gained popularity.
